♥ Who: Magolor and eeeeveryone (who wants in)
♥ Where: Chillin' outside the housing complexes
♥ When: One fine day in the beginning of August/Achtom
♥ What: Everyone loves a good survey, and even if you don't, you're all getting one anyway.
♥ Rating: G, no warnings here
♥ Note: I'm happy to match your preferred format, so proceed as you wish!
[Could Magolor have done this over the network? Of course. Maybe people would have appreciated that more. But that's not how he chooses to go about this: over the network, he'll be easier to ignore, and that's no good. And over the network, he can't give anyone any earnest handshakes or touches on the shoulder to contribute to his bank account, I mean, the wellbeing of this planet! Praise Diacht!
So instead of ringing up the populace to ask for their input, he's doing this old-school.
Upon leaving their houses today, anytime between midmorning and late afternoon, any character is subject to being hunted down and approached by a perky little hovering alien with a clipboard and pen in his hands. He's pretty fast in waving people down, and pretty relentless:]
Helloooooo~! Won't you spare me just a moment? I promise not to keep you! You'll be glad you did. This is for the good of our community, and I can't do it without your help!
[He at least sounds and looks very earnest about this, like a bright-eyed canvasser on their first day on the streets.
Or maybe it's something else. Maybe you've seen him lurking out there for hours now and want to give him an earful, or like, a snack or something, which would be much appreciated. Maybe you have some bone to pick with him. The world is your oyster! He sure is making himself obnoxiously visible.]

You could say that! And I wouldn't argue. I'm a jack of all trades. Something like this would be easy for me to rig up using materials I should be able to get my hands on here without much trouble. So, if you like it, I'll get to work on it for you! Or I can refine the design if you need any adjustments.
[Magolor may be the way he is, but he is nothing if not genuinely happy about pleased customers and people appreciating his work.]

[And gone is the normal bright and confident child as Ib suddenly goes bashful. No one has ever wanted to make something just for her before. Her parents always bought something for her for her birthday and certain holidays.]

[He waves his pen hand at the bag sitting on the ground. True enough; that had been his initial impetus for suggesting this in the first place. But it's not like there aren't other benefits:]
Besides, it's a part of any business. Think about it this way! If someone sees it and asks where you got it, you can say I made it, and then that person will know a little of what I can do. Maybe the next time they need something made, they'll remember my name and come to me. See how it works?
[Giveaways, incentivized reviews, promotional offers . . . he's starting from the bottom on another new planet yet again. Lance's birthday gift had already been a similar ploy. You've got to get your product out there and trusted before you can make money off it.
. . . And it makes him happy. But that's more personal and awkward. And she seems like a girl who will appreciate a "real" reason that isn't pure emotion on his part—or so he tells himself, not least of all because it's easier for him to deal with.]
You're doing plenty to help me out, so let me give you something too.

If that's what you want Mister Magolor, but, if you need me to buy something to help make it I'll be happy to do so.

[It's just too hard to turn down money . . . he tried! He tried to be good! This is out of his hands now! No jury would convict him!
He hugs her side again quickly before pulling away to pack up, slipping his notebook into the grocery bag.]
I should get this stuff inside. I'll have that built for you just as soon as I get the time!

Take however long you need Mister Magolor. I'm used to carrying it around like this so I'll be fine if I have to wait.
